FUNERAL To Enter Studio This Month

January 8, 2008

Norwegian cult doom band FUNERAL has issued the following update:

"FUNERAL is entering the studio January 14 to begin the recording of a new record, hopefully for a spring release...a concept album is in the loop.

"The band is finalizing negotiations regarding a new contract with a well established label, thus ending cooperation with Tuba Records. The new label will be announced in near future.

"When the new label will be published the band will also launch a completely new website, which will contain amongst other things a filmed studio diary, as well as rare tracks, both studio and live recordings from 1995 until this day."

FUNERAL's video for the track "This Barren Skin" can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Marcel Lelienhof and was edited by Christian Hvatum.

"This Barren Skin" comes off the band's latest album, "From These Wounds", which was released in December 2006 via Tabu Recordings in Norway (the rest of Europe received the CD on January 29, 2007). The limited-edition digipack version of the album comes with a bonus track, "Breathing Through You".

FUNERAL's founding member/guitarist Christian Loos was found dead in his flat on October 28, 2006. He was 31 years old. The group's original bassist, Einar Frederiksen, died in 2002.
